Hey...plant switched over to 12/12 a few days ago. I am about to begin fertilizing the plant with the proper nutes for flowering phase. What is a good rule of thumb for how often I should fertilize? Every few days? Once every 2 weeks? Thanks!

Most guys I know do it every other or every third watering.
Depends on whats in there, how the fast the plants use it and how fast it evaporates.

I would feed once, wait a week. Then add 1/2 strength to them every other watering. You dont want to over nute.

Good luck.

It depends what nutes you're using, and how often you have to water, but basically use half what it says on the directions, and then work your way up.

I flush the veg nutes in the second week (12/12) with a dilute mix of bloom nute, and then start them @ half strength

ya like every 3rd water or so... be careful.. alota ppl think more nutes=more bud but if u do it can lead to other probs like stunned growth for example... and then u think it needs more nutes cuz its not growin so u give it more to compensate... b4 u know u damaged the plant real bad.. its like a snow ball effect... here check this thread... its very informative... good luck!!!https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/121157-fertilizing-wisely.html
